Busy with my village fete today but nice to see the Eurofighter formation pass to the east over Thurleigh heading north. A few minutes later saw the Tornado formation heading back to Leuchars, well done RAF,just wish the BBC would give more coverage to this ,i.e a behind scenes look at all the hard work build up .

Author will be signing copies at Waterstones in Silver St, Bedford from 11:00 to 13:00 hrs this Sat 14/06. Ex 582 Sq veterans will be present as they are holding a reunion in Bedford. Most likely church service Lt Staughton on the Sunday am.
